You'll be surprised to see how many are willing to have a conversation with you and teach you a thing or two. 

I am not optimistic about such a play but noticed a few in surprising places.

If you have something that is important to how you run your business then you want to have it in there and not surprise the seller later down the process.

Then this shouldn't be a surprise....if you were using the county site for sf calculations, surely you would have noticed the floor plan discrepancy during rehab, if not before you actually bought it.

But I wouldn't be surprised if a big bank just shut you down without really looking into it.

I decided to close in escrow on Friday and just wait on title to finalize but low and behold to my surprise I had title insurance in my email this morning.

You'll be surprised I caught a few imposters at this point, including one guy who gave me an application with one name on it, and brazenly gave me his drivers license with another name.

I would not be surprised if sophisticated HFT models do exactly that.  

NorthlineFirst nice surprise during rehab............Wood flooring under the carpet. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
